Thread: Songs about sports

  1. #101
    Jane Siberry and Beau Dommage both have songs about hockey. As I'm sure many other Canadian artists do. Stompin' Tom Connors has to have at least one.

    Oh, and Chris Rea’s “Tennis” is not about tennis, but about news people devoting way too much time to vapid celebrity B.S. instead of actual news.

    'Fearless' (Pink Floyd, the chant at the end of 'You'll Never Walk Alone") apparently the anthem of football club Liverpool F.C.)
    In keeping with the football theme: Elton John was chairman of Watford Football Club for many years. The staff and players provided backing vocals on Big Dipper and Georgia on his Single Man album.

    With thanks to David Byrne for the introduction to this song:


    Wikipedia:
    "Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)" is a song by Jorge Ben Jor from his 1976 album África Brasil. It was later recorded by Ambitious Lovers and Soulfly. The song is about an African striker, Ben Jor's "Ponta de Lança Africano (Umbabarauma)" became a well known football-related track.

    Only that Rush song is not about an actual marathon or marathons in general though. It's more of a metaphor for life.
